The MSYS part should not be considered or treated as a platform itself. It's sole purpose is complement MinGW toolchain so things like autoconf autmake, configure and friends all work. So, when we talk about better Windows support for Ruby, we talk about *native* support, not through an emulation layer. -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
